According to research by Britannica, sex has always been one of the few pleasures of the poor and oppressed. Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Do the math! While sex is part of normal human behavior, prostitution on the other hand is frowned on morally and legally in Nigeria and has now evolved from the road side and brothels to social media apps.
An unofficial survey revealed that the Transportation Network Industry in Lagos and Abuja (Uber and Taxify) generates 80% of it revenue from 8pm to 6am (with numerous instances where these females offer sex acts to drivers as payment for their ride fares #sexforrides).

It is left up to you to determine whether you support their lifestyle and professional choices or not. What should be a cause for concern is that the money these girls make from digital prostitution is tax-free. Our government is broke! Looking for loans here and there while we have millions of young females raking in an average of 200,000 Naira on a monthly basis tax free (using Lagos State and Abuja as our reference points) with an average income of 20,000 Naira per night

You are a coward. I forbid you from transferring your wave of cowardice to other Biafrans. My father carried the armors for the Biafran Army because he was too young to join the troops.

You have no right to preach cowardice here. So I should leave the land of my birth for the Fulanis? Are you mad? My wealth is in lands and my next 3 generations can not even exhaust the use of my landmass, and you think I can relocate to abroad? I came back to my country to build wealth and fight the enemies. You have not crossed a border yet I guess, but if you have, then you have no knowledge of what true wealth is.

Let tell you this. No man born of a woman can come to my community. You think I am interested in losing my homestead ? Never.

You better learn how to build landmines and bombs and prepare, and stop preaching escapism. May be you are Fulani trying to preach fear so people can leave their lands.

You have failed. We will kill you and eat you.

If Peter obi did not win and so fuccking what? How many times did Buhari contested before he become president. I don't know why most of you guys act before thinking

Owontime:
Nonsense,so you prefer to buy a house in Kano,Kaduna,Lagos,Port Harcourt,Uyoand Maidugri where the chances of it getting burnt down is 900%?

Ain't you guys supposed to be one of the most intelligent people on earth,it amazes me when you act like the dumbest people on earth.
Have you seen a Yoruba man,Hausa man or even Calabar man go to the East to buy properties?
It's because they know very well that in case there is another war all their properties will be gone.
The idea of not developing your home first or understanding that charity begins at home is something that makes the rest of Nigeria laugh at you. You brag about money but there's no road in the SE ,the entire place is a complete shithole but instead you prefer to live like refugees in other parts of Nigeria. Get some sense in your head.

MadarasBlade:
calling your brothers deluded monkeys just to pass a point? This is horrible bro, truly.

Obaaderemi2:
That's not true. How many light skinned people were targeted when Tinubu was governor in Lagos? He embraced the Ibos and other non-Yorubas in Lagos. There's no video evidence of anybody being denied the chance to vote because they were lightskinned.Besides, anybody from any tribe can be fair or dark.
Everybody just saying what they like because some people didn't win. I don't understand this. Someone posted it first now everyone is singing it like a song.

MrBrownJay1:
come on bro, after insulting people because of their tribes, you now want to pretend that you will like to date an Igbo lady?!?!? bloody hypocrite!

there is nothing funny (or cathcing fun) about insulting people on NL because of their tribe.

Creamcrest:
The only thing an Igbo man knows in this life is buying and selling in a 2 by 2 shop.
That's the only progress they know.
Creamcrest:
Every tribe has its own uniqueness,Yorubas are well educated far more than any tribe.
Igbos are mostly illiterates.
Yorubas controls most of the major real estate companies in Lagos,they rule the corporate world.
I'm not Yoruba tho but I prefer them to boastful Igbos.
Creamcrest:
No Igbo man would be allowed to rule this country.
A slave cannot rule his master.

Pascal9:
oga I have already told you that northerners are terrible leaders, if northern population keep increasing at this rate with this currupt and visionless merry go round, the country will explode, already their illiterate population are kidnapping them.nigeria won't survive the next 25yrs.

TheBillyonaire:
Tufiakwa!

The OP is such a piece of shitt. So, I should move my assets across the border because a certain criminal and his tribalist clans are in power? Are you smoking cow dung?

Your investments are safe in your state. Form or join hunters organization and have legal access to weapons grades and prepare to shoot at your enemies and make sure you kill them.

That is how real men conquer and survive.

Iam already a citizen of another country for past 12 years so no need for me to bother

I read to the end. The major reason I like Nairaland - the real nature of Nigerians is displayed, no forming. This is how the typical Nigerian man spends on sex, and how he loves it. Like I've said countless times here, the average Nigerian man is sex starved. If the country was very liberal, culturally and religiously, like countries in Southern Africa, I doubt sex will be so monetized as it's in Nigeria.

To those who say get a wife or girlfriend, well, that doesn't stop men from patronising prostitutes. It's akin to those who say polygamy stops a man from cheating. In fact, the vast majority of men who patronise prostitutes are married men and those in serious relationships. As long as testosterone exists, men will always desire for sex and spend on it. To some men, sex is a hobby just as a sommelier loves tasting and drinking different wines. There are people who spend a lot on wine tasting and drinking. Hobbies can be addictive, one just has to manage it properly and financially.

Additionally, sex is not free. The belief that it's free is entirely false. Sex is paid for in either kind (offering a job, contract or admission), cash (like opined on this thread) and commitment (marriage/engagement). However, in rare cases, handsome men get sex for free. This is the top 1% of Nigerian men as the vast majority of Nigerian men are ugly (myself inclusive). If you think getting a wife equates free sex, don't drop feeding money or money for her upkeep and beauty products.

In conclusion, the best way to derive benefit from the sex industry is to offer a service or products that patrons and players consume. This could be as a restaurant (my hypothesis says 50% of restaurants in Nigeria will shut down should men be faithful to their partners, ditto 75% of hotels for the same reason), lounges, intimacy gadgets, herbs for sex enhancement etc. Men will always demand for sex, you don't have to play as a patron but as an entrepreneur. That's how my parents built their wealth.

Gerrard59:
The issue of hook-ups is entirely on Nigerian men. Men sustain the industry, not women. These women don't fvck themselves. The average Nigerian man has an insatiable demand/urge for sex and would do anything to get it. That creates a market, and since women can be the only suppliers, they cater to this demand. If Nigerian men indulge in celibacy, the rate at which young girls resort to hook-up will drastically decline. It is simple economics. Additionally, it is biological because men have testosterone which induces the urge for sex every single day, people who cannot tame it will resort to demanding for sexual intercourse, and another set of people have to supply that demand.

Also, in poorer societies, many women resort to selling their bodies because they have fewer economic opportunities, just like men resort to stealing. In richer nations, the rate is very low. Even in prosperous patriarchal societies, women don't resort to prostitution because they have a high standard of living. For prostitution to reduce (it cannot be eradicated as the average men will ALWAYS want to fvck), Nigeria has to be rich and Nigerian men have to tame their lascivious demands.

I have written about this extensively. The blame is on Nigerian men not the women.

Gerrard59:
One thing I have noticed in sexual relationships or affairs is that the men who complain a lot about how women are so "sexually free" are never financially buoyant. They are always poor! I am yet to meet a man who bemoans sexual freedom for women that is well-to-do.

Gerrard59:
Trust me when I say it is always the poor men who cry every day that young women these days are fvcking everywhere as if the people these women sleep with are not men but ghosts. I can understand their pains - women are raking a lot from their genital parts while they (young men) cannot replicate the same. It can be painful, but if they understand a thing or two about biology and elementary economics, they will rather look towards seizing opportunities within the industry than lampoon all day on social media.

Cry today, cry tomorrow, cry forever, women will keep getting paid for sex, and men will always continue to pay. Nothing will change it. Sex itself is not free.

Rubyjade:
Do they do this in Arabic countries?

Pascal9:
Increase in Muslim population will result to increase in poverty, which will result to instability, which will result to disintegration, don't fool yourself, south Sudan should remind you. North will try but they are terrible leaders soo they will fail

EKONGKING:
If tinubu does not perform, I see Nigeria disintegrating in max 10 years

tensazangetsu20:
I escorted my neighbors son to election boot. He's Yoruba and light skinned. They didn't allow him vote but no thug came to my side cause I am dark skinned even though I don't speak the language. I could have been allowed to vote if I wanted so Nigeria will experience reverse racism during their period

tensazangetsu20:
True tribal marks and also be very dark skinned. You would be passed even if you don't speak Yoruba but if you speak yoruba and you are fair. Lori iro

tensazangetsu20:
The funny thing with Nigeria Is all our predictions tend to be much worst than our imaginations.

tensazangetsu20:
The thing is even if you learn Yoruba you would still be denied access to economic opportunities. Yoruba speakers with Igbo facial features were not allowed to vote last week despite being yorubas and speaking the language very well. So learning Yoruba won't grant you anything. I pity those who have bleached. They better go darken their skins

Coolabbie:
Didn’t read thread.

Zoo must fall.
Biafra is coming!!

Gerrard59:
She has always told us that Nigeria no be am. That the country can never get better. This was when I was in primary school o. So no be today. She has been preaching it as she is well travelled. Then, she would say "Nigerians don't know how to enjoy life", "even with money, you cannot enjoy life in Nigeria", And this is a woman who has money o.

Yes, regional government is the best. Let Abuja be weakened, and various states/regions elect leaders that can cater to their needs based on their cultural norms and beliefs. Use their natural resources for themselves, and contribute something to Abuja. Similar to the UK, and a little like the US. That is the only way Nigeria (various constituents) can develop and prosper. The elections in 2015 and a little bit of 2011 taught me lessons that the country is not united, and last I checked, divisive countries never prosper in the long run. Even when they do, they are not safe as prosperous homogenous countries.

I don't plan building/buying a house in Nigeria as we have properties already. I rather do Namibia than Benin Republic. I forsee Nigeria fighting another civil war. The case of residents in Ogun fleeing to Benin because of Fulani herdsmen and those in the North East to Cameroon or those in Western Cameroon fleeing to Uyo/Calabar are enough deterrents. I dread countries that have weak immigration policies towards Nigerians. The fewer Nigerias are there, the better.

Gerrard59:
1. A Muslim northerner will succeed Tinubu after eight years. The Muslim northerner will choose a Yoruba Muslim as his running mate. The bigwigs in APC SW are mostly Muslims. With Tinubu's presidency, they will cement their influence and power. Which means, for 24 uninterrupted years, Muslims will head Nigeria. The influence of the church will decline as division creeps in. Already, the elections have shown that Nigerian Christians are not united in the face of Muslim-Muslim presidency. Like I predicted on Twitter last year, should APC win in 2023, no Christian would get into Aso Rock for the next 16 years.

2. In two decades, Nigeria's Muslim population will not only increase by influence but by actual numbers. Maximum of 30 years, I expect Nigeria to have a solidified Muslim majority, and becoming an Islamic Republic. Christians would be economically disadvantaged with some converting to Islam and these rich Muslims marrying the daughters of Christians, including those in the south south and south east. The Christian men are obviously very poor due to limited economic opportunities and a large number having relocated. Men japa more than women. These women cannot remain single forever. This is already happening in Northern Nigeria and will extend to the east. During the relentless onslaught towards Northern Nigeria's Christians two years ago, I told someone who mimcks as a geopolitical analyst that Nigeria will have a Muslim majority by 2050. He said I was talking nonsense. Last year, he saw that Christians' birth rates in the south have declined while the north keeps increasing. Add the economic destruction Northern Christians have faced, it means their population has declined further. Expect to see Ezinne Mohammed and Ekaette Umar.


3. As for Igbos in a Tinubu's administration, they should expect economic warfare. Buhari did military warfare, expect economic destruction. The kind of Yorubas who support APC fervently DO NOT like Igbos. They will do everything in their power to deal with Igbos economically. With people like El-Rufai and Shettima, the job will done clinically. Igbos go get crumbs (assuming they get anything in the first place). These events will further reduce the wealth and birth rates of Igbos. Again, as an Igbo person, it is better you build your wealth and investment outside Nigeria. I stated this, but got insulted. As usual, when it happens, I will be here to gloat.

4. Y'all start learning Yoruba o and the Koran. It will be very important in seeking contracts and plum federal jobs.

5. As for the economy, the south west and the north will benefit economically. The rest of the country won't. Nigeria as a whole will not prosper because of the ethnic fractures - divisive countries never prosper. Since the south west will benefit economically, it is why number 4 is very important.

As usual, some will curse me and say I am lying. But as usual, I will be here to remind them and gloat.

Germany's pathway to naturalization is even easier than the UK. If you graduate from a German Uni, you will become a permanent resident in less than 2 years of full-time work there. Regarding the languages, they are learnable! There is even a German language school in Lagos(Goethe Institut). Her kids will even learn the language faster than her because their brain is still developing. Regarding racism, it exists everywhere and the UK is not exempted. The ease of getting a UK visa has made Nigerians not notice other European countries with better economies and a better standard of living.

steeltrust:
you’re really mad

How can you say aniomas re not Igbo

So the Chukwudi and emaka they answer are from jos abi

Many of you on this forum are just full of hate
And I really don’t know why

Ceoangelcee:
I think the Igbo people still have a good shot at this presidency of a thing if they can field a candidate like Prof. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
.
With her vast knowledge of economies and her experience at the world stage, we can be certain she has all it takes. Wikipedia currently quotes her age to be 69 which makes her much younger than the incumbent president.
.
She is known for her neutral stance in ethno-religious commentaries and she has worked with several Nigerian presidents and world leaders.
.
.
In my opinion, most Nigerians will vote for this woman if she ever runs for office.

Mindlog:
If she identifies herself as Igbo, what will you say?

Gerrard59:
While discussing with some buddies yesterday, we touched on the topic “moving back to Nigeria”. I argued that Nigeria is not safe. Sure, there are places that are pretty “safe”. However, my notion of safety is when other people elsewhere can go about their normal activities without fear. For instance, I don’t consider a place safe if one part of the area keeps suffering repeated attacks from Fulani herdsmen (like Southern Kaduna and Plateau). I don’t have to be the affected party, but others who go about their normal activities should feel safe doing them. The other guy countered that, with money, one could enjoy Nigeria. “Live in Maitama, run Lister generator and live quietly.” Also, you get to be in a place where almost everyone looks like you.

Upon hearing “…with money, one can enjoy Nigeria”, I asked him to list five things/ways one can enjoy Nigeria as long as the person has money. Surprisingly, he could not mention one thing/way. I thought it wise to throw it to the house, especially for those who are anti-Japa or those who have stayed abroad for a long time and currently reside in Nigeria.

As someone with money, what exactly does the person enjoy in Nigeria? What are the differences compared to his/her counterpart in say, Namibia or Canada/UK that also has money? How do you enjoy Nigeria provided the money is available?

P.S. I understand that the notion of “enjoyment” is largely subjective. Some enjoy going to parties, while others enjoy travelling around or even reading a book while in a park. But I believe there are some universal notions of enjoyment.

Amazon plans to lay off 9,000 more employees, mostly in AWS and as we know this is powered by cloud engineers, IT technical support staff, tech managers and marketing staff. I have never been a big fan of FAANG but I reckon people should work there for like 1 year to boost your CV so recruiters would always be looking to hire once you add Ex-FAANG software engineer on your LinkedIn title.

Now, I wonder if all those 8 stages of rigorous interviews would make sense anymore seeing that there is no job security apart from Apple, and your job can be lost just like any other medium-size tech companies. I know some people on NL have made these companies their dream place to work but right now realistically, is it really worth it? Would It also be worth it 2 years down the line? If job security is gone, would the only perk just be for the prestige?!

I would say It is better to aim for smaller companies with great opportunities, where you and your small team can actually move something. A job where you are responsible end to end and learn and use many skills.

Although I have noticed bias in some smaller companies where they also only prefer to hire ex-FAANG engineers first before anybody else, they propose a very high and compelling salary on the same job level and the disparity in salary with your co-worker is so much that It annoys you when you it gets leaked. The tech recruitment industry is very weird.
